An Open Letter To Saturday Night Live From www.firstwivesworld.com

Debbie Nigro, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Girlfriend of First Wives World, wants the Producers at Saturday Night Live, to know that she doesn't like the word "Cougar" because it denotes "Bimbos, Floozies, Older Women who can't attract men their own age."

In case you didn't know it, Saturday Night Live has an ongoing "Cougar" skit, starring Cameron Diaz, that is quite funny and cutting edge.

However, the head cheerleader of the 30 million women in the United States who are transitioning through divorce is quick to point that times are a-changing.

"Separate/divorced women nowadays are reinventing themselves, exploring new options," explains Debbie. "Older men who are leaking testosterone are more often in search of arm candy to validate their masculinity. Younger men, who can hold up their end of the stick, seem to find us fascinating. Who are we to discourage them?"

Debbie warns SNL that they are on to something big. "The 'Cougar' trend is about to pick up speed ... but for the record, they all don't look like Cameron Diaz."

Debbie is available for interviews when she is not picking up her boyfriends at their parents' homes.

Young adult authors -- like Judy Blume Meg Cabot, Holly Black, Libba Bray, Scott Westerfeld, Megan McCafferty, Melissa Walker and more -- are launching YA for Obama, a social networking project for writers and their young readers who support Barack Obama.

About 50 writers have signed on so far, and the site goes live on Monday, Sept. 22. Daily blog posts will feature different writers, with readers able to make their own pages, talk in forums and contribute video and photos.

"The idea came from the simple realization that so many Young Adult authors seem to be for Obama," Maureen Johnson says in a release. "While this site is for readers of all ages (and even nationalities), there will be a lot of emphasis on giving readers who are under 18 a place in the process. Those are our people, and they want to be a part of this election. While they can't vote, they can certainly use their energy and talents to get others to do so -- putting up signs, making videos, or badgering their family members to the polls."

We love the enthusiasm, but if you really want to turn an election, park Obama-rama vans along the perimeters of Colorado, Nevada and Indiana and give out Dark Knight bootlegs to anybody sporting peach fuzz and acne.

Early reports say that the celebrated writer hung himself.

A memorial is planned at Pomona College where Wallace taught.

This is a Brian Ross report on Sarah Palin's stint as mayor of a small town and harasser of librarians.

We think it's funny that she wanted to remove Go Ask Alice, a book about an out of control sexually promiscuous teenager...hehe.

Maybe she had to control information because she is so close to Russia...

In their new book, Impotence in the Boardroom: MySpace Caught an STD, marketing experts Yvette Bowlin and Sonni Carr explore what they call "strategically transmitted diseases" (Or STDs, natch) to explain why some brands just, you know, suck. From the press release:

Bowlin and Carr take readers inside the doors of MySpace and recount the events of a 2006 meeting between the authors and MySpace executives. The two create a case study to show how MySpace has become a one-hit wonder reaching 'has-been' status as quickly as stardom--all because it chose to ignore the fate of feature fatigue. Even this behemoth of a company that became the topic of every lunch conversation and found its way into almost every advertising budget, isn't indestructible. Subject to the fickle audience to which it catered, MySpace.com needed a salvaging opportunity--fast! The authors tell the company's promising beginnings to its pending doom and how MySpace executives rejected an exciting, intriguing opportunity that would have repositioned them as the leader in social impacting, and instead, settled for 'safe and sorry.' Bowlin and Carr, the Opportunity Analysts, also show how companies such as Dow, Citigroup, Cisco, Keen Footwear, MSN and Coca-Cola aren't making the same mistake and how they stay relevant, attractive and desirable in today's hormonally-charged marketplace.

Impotence? STDs? Hormonally-charged? We're no marketing experts, but isn't it bad practice to associate your message with lumps, bumps, pus and zits?

Sharon Waxman has the dirt on Joe Eszterhas, the former journo-turned-screenwriter who has recently reunited with the daughter he put up for adoption in 1967.

Adam Nimoy is the celebrity kid of Leonard Nimoy... but in his new memoir he says he doesn't hate his dad. Boring, or new genre in celeb tell-alls?

The picture below was taken minutes after author Jade Lee made a hand shake deal with Dabel Brothers Publishing.

Lee, who admitted she shares a name with a porn star, was an aspiring screenwriter thwarted by the 1988 strike and now writes fantasy fiction. Of course, 'fantasy fiction' in an election year is relative.

Christian Bale beat up (allegedly) his actual mother, Jenny Bale.

Gloria Steinem is his step-mother. Married his father.

Weinstein Books has announced that it will publish Larry King's new autobiography titled,"What Am I Doing Here?"

Speaking of softballs - how easy is that title to make fun of? Come Larry you're not even trying anymore.

Jeff Bercovici over at Portfolio demonstrates by listing rejected titles:

Has Anybody Seen My Pants? Backstage with the King of Talk

Hnnh...What? No, Of Course Not. I was Just Resting My Eyes for a Second

What Did You Say Your Show Is Called Again, Mr. Seinfeld?

Yeah, if Portfolio starts making fun of you - your title is a tee ball.
